I keep hearing that the killing of black men by white men receives more coverage and outrage than the reverse because the white men aren't arrested. This is so insanely, absurdly, obviously false that I can't believe anyone can claim it with a straight face. Here are the facts:
The officer in the George Floyd case was arrested and charged. The protests still have not stopped. The officer in the Rayshard Brooks case was obviously justified and yet was arrested anyway, but the protests have not stopped.
The officer in the Michael Brown case was arrested and charged but that didn't stop the protest. He was also cleared by investigations on the local and federal level. Witness testimony and forensics vindicated him. Still, the outrage continues.
There are many examples like this. I could go on. Do you want an example of a police shooting that was caught on tape, was clearly cold blooded murder, and yet the officer wasn't charged? Daniel Shaver. White man. No protests. Little coverage.
You just can't get around this. The facts are staring you in the face. There is a racial double standard here. Anyone with a brain can see it. White on black killing, justified or not = protests and coverage. Reverse, justified or not = not protests, ever, and little coverage.
